BBC Radio 6

 

Receiving messages from all you beautiful souls who were tuned into BBC Radio 6 Music and heard Harvest playing on Guy Garvey’s brilliant show, transported me back to making the music video for this single. It was such a powerful process, filming an experiment, capturing people transitioning from one plain of consciousness to another as they started to loose complete awareness of their bodies and step into a state of cathartic transcendence and a collectively altered state. If you haven't already seen the video for Harvest, check it out!

You can also listen to the show on BBC 6 music here

Exclusive Lomography Interview

It is our pleasure to share with you the exclusive interview we did with Lomography, when we took two of the 'simple use cameras' around with us during our Ascension tour back in November. Check out the feature for our snaps of the backstage, forest explorations, late night corridor runs and the quiet moments together and with dear friends passing through different borders. Read the feature here!

New Feature/interview about Ascension

A huge thank you to Rob from Ban Ban Ton Ton for the beautiful feature on our album Ascension. Such a pleasure to answer the questions of a beautiful soul living in the mountains of Japan. The feature includes an amalgamation of my analogue photography, poetry and our new experimental video. Make sure you give it a read! A little taste of the introduction: 🏔

“Just like anything with a pulse I was immediately struck by the voice of Rebecca Rose Harris. Her burning torch songs that tap into the shared root of jazz, folk, and the blues. The almost impossible octave flights that brought to mind a primal talent like Jeff Buckley. But there was also the rich, deep intimacy of the production, and the amazing tightness of the playing. The range and variety of Franklin Mockett`s guitar chops. From intricate jangle to space-rock freak-out. How each song seemed like a ceremony. A spell. A cathartic invocation and release of sum magick.”

New music video coming...

 
 

A little insight into something that we are releasing very soon… 'From The Fields We Once Knew' is an improvisational piece of music paired with footage from the road trip that instigated the very existence of Samana. From the wild forests of Montenegro to the flower meadows of Serbia, the white mountains of Austria to the cobalt blue rivers of Slovenia, this composition of sound and vision is an exploration of the harmony between the freedom and possibilities of the open road.
